How we compare QME record review options
Short version: every vendor fact comes from the vendor's own website, read on 2026-11-12 and linked in the row. Costs use an 806-page reference file derived from a published CWCI average. We tested no vendor with a real file. Medrecords AI publishes this site and sells 1 of the products in it, and we follow 6 written rules because of that.
Limits: Prices, turnaround and features come from each vendor's own website, read on 2026-11-12. We did not send any vendor a real file, so turnaround and quality are the vendors' claims. Nothing here is billing or legal advice.

Vendor pages were read with a scraping service (treg) where it answered and a page-reading service (Keenable) where treg timed out. Every price on this site was read from the vendor's live page. If a vendor states nothing, we write "not published" or "not stated" rather than guess.
How costs are worked out
- Reference file: CWCI's $1,817 average excess-page charge at $3.00 a page is about 606 pages past the 200 included, so 806 pages. It is synthetic: no real patient or case.
- Per-page tools: pages times the vendor's entry rate, unless a tier is named.
- Allowances and seats: the monthly fee plus any overage, divided by the files that month.
- Duplicates: zero unless stated. Only Medrecords AI says it excludes them from billing; only OctopusLM says it bills them.
- Not counted: your time checking output, staff time, taxes, rush and redo fees.
"Share of $3.00" is a cost comparison. It says nothing about which pages are billable; that is a fee schedule question for your biller.
Products we checked and left out
- mykai.ai med-legal page: appeared in a search index with QME pack pricing, but returned "page not found" on 2026-11-12.
- NaviCase: site unreachable on 2026-11-12.
- Doctor Management (doctormgt.com): page timed out on 2026-11-12.
- LMI, LMTG, Superinsight: record review for attorneys, not QMEs.
- Docura, easyIME, Long Health, Dodonai: report or drafting platforms with no published price; outside a records-review comparison.
We will add any of these once they publish a QME record review offer we can read.
Our conflict of interest, and the rules we follow
Medrecords AI publishes this site and sells Medrecords AI, a record review tool listed in the tables. That is a conflict. These are our rules:
- A disclosure line sits at the top and bottom of every page.
- Our product is labelled "ours" wherever it appears.
- Our product gets the same columns as every other option, including the catches and what it does not do.
- We call it "our pick" only for named cases, and we name the cases where another product or a service fits better.
- Links to medrecords.ai appear only on the Medrecords AI page and in boxes marked as ours.
- No vendor paid to be listed, and none can pay to move. We use no affiliate links.

How often we recheck
Prices and turnaround claims are reread at least every 45 days. Each row carries the date it was last read.
